Prepare Travel Plans in Advance

The way we travel has become more complex. There are so many rules and regulations to remember; even the smallest thing can set your travel plans into a stressful situation. Reduce the chances of this happening by planning ahead for your next trip.

Write a Travel Story
Writing a travel story is not only a great way to keep a journey fresh in your own mind but to share your experiences with readers and maybe even make them want to visit the same places. In addition, newspapers, travel magazines and tourist guidebooks are always looking for fillers and features and can provide some ongoing paychecks and assignments for freelance writers who have a demonstrated knowledge of a publication's demographic and the ability to turn in professional, reader-friendly copy.

Prepare a Travel Trailer for a Hurricane
While owners should never remain inside a travel trailer during a hurricane, some steps can be taken to help protect your recreational vehicle during the storm. Many travel trailers will not withstand the high winds and driving rains of hurricanes, even if bolted down. For this reason, always have a backup plan and know where the local storm shelters are located, particularly during hurricane season. In the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, that season lasts from the first of June until the end of November. The actual dates of the season can vary, depending on where you are located.

Use a Travel Agent IATA Number
Every bona fide travel agency, or travel agent, must have an identifying number in order to work with travel suppliers such as cruise lines and tour operators. That number is called an IATA number, or International Air Transport Association number. Persons who want to work as travel agents must know what an IATA number is, how to obtain an IATA number with which to work with travel suppliers, what a psuedo-IATA number and TRUE I.D. number are, and when to utilize the IATA number.
